I (40M) was out for a jog and then came home to shower. It sometimes takes me a little longer to get ready in the morning as I don’t have a set time to be at work. On this particular morning, I decided to take my time and get ready. This meant that I was getting out of the shower while the Babysitter was there.

For background, the babysitter is an actual adult friend of ours (wanted to make sure the creeps dont hijack the post). I will go ahead and get some of the questions that will be posed out of the way. Yes, she is attractive. She is one of those single type of women who we can’t seem to find a reason for why she’s single. I think it’s because of something that we don’t know, but that’s a story for another time period. Also, I have no interest in cheating on my wife or being with this friend in any way.

Back to the story, Since I had just gotten out of the shower. I wrapped a towel around myself and went to spend some quality time with the baby. We were laying on the floor and my kid was enjoying some tummy time and playing. We are really working on trying to crawl and move so that our kid can stay on track developmentally. The babysitter walks into the room. Has a seat on the floor and starts playing with the baby as well. While rolling on the floor and playing with the baby, my towel comes open and my junk is exposed for the world to see.

I casually cover myself back up and continue to play with the babe. The friend/babysitter immediately jumps up. Starts grabbing her stuff and rushing towards the door. I start asking her what’s going on. Are you okay? Is something the matter? She says I can’t believe you just did that. What is wrong with you, you’re sick, and on and on and on. I’m like, is this because you saw me partially/fully naked? And she says “yes” And slams the door on her way out the door.

While calling work to reschedule meetings and trying to get a hold of the babysitter, I get a frantic call from my SO (37F) asking what I did to the babysitter/ friend. I say nothing really. My towel just happened to fall off. While I was playing with the baby. She goes off telling me i’m an AH for this doing this and I should have put on clothes and I shouldn’t have been wearing a towel so on and so forth. I am like sure cool whatever, but aren’t you guys making a big deal out of nothing. We are all adults in this situation and we’ve seen plenty of naked bodies. I didn’t make any moves. I wasn’t trying to suggest anything. And I definitely wasn’t trying to hurt anybody’s feelings.

Friends and family have come down on both sides of the issue. So internet AITAH?
